Heidi Klum’s primetime musical event, “HeidiFest,” is transitioning from ProSieben to RTL and RTL+. This move follows low viewership for the program on ProSieben during 2025, where the premiere achieved only a 5.9 percent market share among the key 14-to-49-year-old demographic. Consequently, ProSieben has decided not to broadcast another live version of the event. The second annual “HeidiFest” took place on September 17, 2026, at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, two days before the official start of the 191st Oktoberfest. Broadcast by RTL, the event hosted approximately 900 guests and featured 24 musical acts, including Whigfield, Dr. Alban, 2 Unlimited, Nicole Scherzinger, Sarah Engels, and Mousse T. Notable attendees included Klum’s family—husband Tom Kaulitz, her mother Erna, and children Leni and Henry Samuel—as well as model Naomi Campbell, who performed as a DJ. Other guests included Nadja Auermann and various former contestants from “Germany’s Next Topmodel”. Despite the star-studded lineup, the production faced significant criticism regarding technical mishaps, awkward hosting, and a lack of a cohesive concept. During the festivities, artist Bernhard Prinz reported the theft of a signed painting valued at approximately 15,000 euros, prompting a police investigation. Following the event, singer Bill Kaulitz addressed social media speculation regarding his absence from the party. Speaking on his podcast, “Kaulitz Hills – Senf aus Hollywood,” Kaulitz clarified that his absence was due to professional commitments in Los Angeles for a major campaign. He remarked, “It is not the Bill-Fest, it is the HeidiFest.” ~~His brother, Tom Kaulitz, confirmed he attended~~ Rumors of a rift between Klum and Bill Kaulitz were further dismissed when the group reunited at Oktoberfest during a private event ~~and noted that many guests had inquired about Bill’s whereabouts.~~ at Kufflers Weinzelt to promote the Kaulitz twins’ brand, “KAA DOS.”
